"tagline": "ZeroStep's ai() function unlocks the power of GPT3.5 and GPT4 to make Playwright tests simpler and more resilient to change.",
"body": "[**ZeroStep**](https://zerostep.com/) is a JavaScript library that adds the power of AI to Playwright tests. ZeroStep’s **ai()** function lets developers test a web application using simple plain-text instructions, embedded directly in their Playwright tests.\n\nHere’s a complete Playwright test using ZeroStep that verifies the core “book a meeting” workflow in Calendly:\n\n```javascript\nimport { test, expect } from '@playwright/test'\nimport { ai } from '@zerostep/playwright'\n\ntest.describe('Calendly', () => {\n test('book the next available timeslot', async ({ page }) => {\n await page.goto('https://calendly.com/zerostep-test/test-calendly')\n\n await ai('Verify that a calendar is displayed', { page, test })\n await ai('Dismiss the privacy modal', { page, test })\n await ai('Click on the first available day of the month', { page, test })\n await ai('Click on the first available time in the sidebar', { page, test })\n await ai('Click the Next button', { page, test })\n await ai('Fill out the form with realistic values', { page, test })\n await ai('Submit the form', { page, test })\n\n const element = await page.getByText('You are scheduled')\n expect(element).toBeDefined()\n })\n})\n```\n\nSix months ago, we launched an AI “prompt” feature in [**Reflect**](https://reflect.run/), our low-code testing platform, that lets users execute actions and assertions from plain-text prompts. Since then, two-thirds of our customers have incorporated AI prompts into their Reflect tests. We’re convinced that AI will lead to a step change in how products are end-to-end tested, and want as many devs as possible to be able to take advantage of this new technology.\n\nWith ZeroStep, you can get the benefits of easy-to-write test steps and less flaky tests, with minimal changes to your existing Playwright testing workflow.\n\n**The biggest benefits of ZeroStep are:**\n\n* **Tests are easier to write**. Writing an ai() step is equivalent to describing the action (“Fill out the form with realistic values”), assertion (“Verify there are no errors displayed on the page”), or extraction (“What is the shopping cart total?”) in plain English. The AI does the rest. There’s no need to write selectors, or add data-test-id attributes all over your app so that your tests have stable locators. Our website and GitHub repo show several examples of tricky testing scenarios that are made easy with ZeroStep.\n* **Tests are less frustrating to maintain**. Unlike selectors, ZeroStep ai() steps are not tightly coupled to your app’s markup. The ZeroStep AI interprets your ai() steps at runtime which means even large scale changes in the app won’t break your tests, so long as your functional requirements remain unchanged. Selectors, in my opinion, are one of the worst leaky abstractions in software development. I can’t imagine how many dev hours have been lost due to them. We’re happy to not use any concept of selectors with this approach.\n* **It’s easy to ramp up**. ai() steps have no predefined syntax (unlike Cucumber). You just need to be able to clearly describe what action, assertion, or extraction you want the AI to perform.\n\n**Our Ask:**\n\nIf your front-end developers write and maintain Playwright tests, and would benefit from tests being faster to write and easier to maintain, we think they’ll love ZeroStep.\n\nWe offer a generous free tier and it’s easy to get started.

We’re Matthew and Curtis, founders of [Whalesync](https://www.whalesync.com).\n\n**Whalesync gives your spreadsheet edit access to data in apps like HubSpot, Webflow, and Supabase.** This way, you can bulk edit, collaborate, or build AI workflows directly from Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets. It's a little scary... but also super powerful ;)\n\nHere’s a Notion database updating deals directly in HubSpot:\n\n\n\n### **Why spreadsheets?**\n\nSpreadsheets like Google Sheets, Airtable, and Notion are super flexible, require practically no learning curve, and let you view and update records in bulk.\n\nWhen you connect these tools with your business apps (like your CRM, CMS, or database), you basically get spreadsheet superpowers ✨.\n\n\n\n### **Common use cases**\n\nHundreds of companies, including Webflow, Descript, and Clay, use Whalesync to work faster by:\n\n* **Enriching CRM leads with AI** from a spreadsheet (HubSpot + Notion)\n* Creating **thousands of programmatic SEO pages** from a spreadsheet (Webflow + Airtable)\n* **Creating internal tools** without any engineers (Supabase + Airtable)\n* **Updating deal statuses** from a spreadsheet (Affinity + Google Sheets)\n* Giving clients an **easy way to update projects** (Notion + Google Sheets)\n\n### **How it works**\n\n1. Connect your app and your spreadsheet.\n2. Map the tables and fields you want to sync.\n3. Turn it on, and your data syncs into your spreadsheet. Then you can start editing/creating.\n\n### **Try it out**\n\nWe have a two-week free trial on all of our plans if you want to try Whalesync yourself!\n\nAnd always feel free to shoot us a note if you have questions at 👋 [hello@whalesync.com](mailto:hello@whalesync.com).\n\n**🚀 Try it out here** ——> [**https://www.whalesync.com**](https://www.whalesync.com)\n\n",

This unlocks powerful use cases like programmatic SEO, no-code apps, ABM pages, and internal tools. You can check out our [free trial here](https://www.whalesync.com/airtable-webflow/choose-connectors)!\n\nHey everyone! We’re Ryder, Matthew, Curtis, Manish, Veneta, and Sean aka the team behind [Whalesync](http://whalesync.com/).\n\n\n\n### **The problem: connecting tools is hard**\n\nConnecting apps like Airtable & Webflow enables amazing use cases, but is actually really hard to do without code!\n\nWe started Whalesync because we repeatedly saw people spending weeks architecting multi-step automations only to find them brittle and unreliable.\n\nWhile we love automation tools, they’re really not built to handle true data syncing where you connect deeply and bi-directionally.\n\n\n\n### **The solution: simple, no-code data sync**\n\nWhalesync is the no-code tool built to handle data syncing. In a few minutes, you can hook up your apps and have them 2-way syncing in real-time.\n\n\n\n### **Use cases: pSEO, internal tools, + much more**\n\nWhalesync works by connecting different tools, so there are a TON of different things you can do. A few of the more popular use cases:\n\n* 🔎 Launch thousands of **programmatic SEO pages** (Airtable x Webflow)\n* ⚒️ Build an **internal tool** on top of your production database (Postgres x Notion)\n* 💻 Create a scalable **no-code app** (Bubble x Airtable)\n* 🧑 Personalize hundreds of tier-1 **ABM landing pages** (Airtable x Webflow)\n* 📝 Manage your **blog** (Notion x Webflow)\n\n### **How it works**\n\n1. Pick the tools you want to sync\n2. Tell Whalesync how the data maps\n3. Turn on sync, we do the rest ✅\n\n\n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\n* [Try it out](https://www.whalesync.com/airtable-webflow/choose-connectors) and let us know what you think! Support is great, but feedback is even better as it helps us decide what to build next.\n* Also, let us know if you have any [requests for new connectors](https://jjm01gwpyzn.typeform.com/to/lij7aJhR)! We’ll be building a bunch more this year.\n* If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to my personal email 😄 [matthew@whalesync.com](mailto:matthew@whalesync.com)",

"body": "### **TLDR**\n\nIt usually takes less than 20 minutes to build your first internal tool with Noloco, without writing a line of code. We’d love to help other startups improve their internal tooling while freeing up their developer resources. Try Noloco today and check out our YC Deal for the current batch and alumni.\n\n* [Sign up](https://portals.noloco.io/register?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch)\n* [YC Deal](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/deals/1610)\n* [Guides](https://guides.noloco.io/?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch)\n* [Video Tutorials](https://noloco.io/video-tutorials?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch)\n\n\n\n### **🤔 What’s the problem?**\n\nMany of us have experienced the pains of internal tooling in startups and scale-ups. From a management point of view, engineering resources dedicated to internal tooling are wasted as they should be focusing on customer-facing products. For developers, it’s a chore to work on unloved parts of the codebase that aren’t a priority for the business. And for other stakeholders in Product, Ops and Support, there’s never enough capacity to build the tools they desperately need, while the ones they have are slow, cluttered and the UX is often poor. \n\n### **🙌 How does Noloco help?**\n\n[Noloco](https://noloco.io?utm_source=bookface&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=postgres) is the no-code platform for teams to instantly create internal tools from databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Airtable & Google Sheets.\n\nOnce you connect your data source (e.g. PostgreSQL), Noloco automatically builds an app for you from your chosen tables including collection views (e.g. tables and kanban boards), record pages to view individual records and forms to add new records.\n\nNoloco provides a totally no-code builder. This genuinely makes building and configuring internal tools 10x faster. With our no-code first approach, Noloco also removes the reliance on engineers whenever your Ops, Customer Support, Product or Sales team want to make any changes or add new tools.\n\n\n\n### **🛠️ What can I build with Noloco?**\n\nCustomers around the world have built hundreds of internal tools with Noloco for a variety of use cases, including:\n\n* Internal tool for your customer support team to update customer plans\n* CRM to keep customer info up to date and trigger automated workflows\n* Dashboards to monitor product usage, sign-ups and converted customers\n* Project management tool for your Ops team \n\n### **⏰ Build your first internal tool in 20 minutes**\n\nMost customers find that they can build a functional, useful tool for their teammates to view or update data in their database within 20 minutes. This is because Noloco does so much of the work for you in building the basic structure and pages of your app. \n\nIf you’d like to try building internal tools for your team without writing a line of code, you can [sign up here](https://portals.noloco.io/register?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch).\n\nWe also have lots of useful resources to help you:\n\n* [Guides](https://guides.noloco.io/?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch)\n* [Video Tutorials](https://noloco.io/video-tutorials?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch) \n\n### **💸 YC Deal**\n\nWe’ve published our first YC Deal - see [redemption instructions](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/deals/1610) here.\n\nCurrent batch:\n\n* Free during the batch\n* 50% off all paid plans for your first 6 months after the batch\n\nAlumni:\n\n* 50% off all paid plans for your first 6 months \n\n### **🙏 Asks**\n\n[Sign up](https://portals.noloco.io/register?utm_source=yc&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=launch) and see how quickly you can build internal tools for your team with Noloco.",

You know automation could help, but it faces three major issues:\n\n1. **Existing business systems are rigid,** and systems of record like CRMs and ERPs make customization frustrating, complex, and expensive, often requiring external consultants or their own dedicated developers \n2. **No-code tools still have a significant learning curve,** and teams still spend weeks figuring out how to configure and build custom workflows properly before they can deliver value\n3. **Pure no-code solutions struggle to handle edge cases** or highly custom business logic, requiring complex and clunky workarounds.\n4. **Existing tools struggle to fully capture real-world business processes,** which involve complex processes that require a mixture of automation and human-in-the-loop, involve multiple teams and stakeholders, and extend across days, weeks, or even months.\n\n \n\n## **Our Solution**\n\nWorkflow86 is an AI workflow engineer that takes natural language descriptions of business processes and automatically creates fully configured automations with forms, tasks, AI steps, integrations, and more. \n\n### **Design and deploy automations in minutes**\n\nThis allows anyone to build and deploy custom business processes and workflow automations by chatting to their own on-demand workflow automation expert. \n\n1. **Describe your process** in natural language or even upload an image, flowchart, or process diagram\n2. **AI asks clarifying questions** and develops an implementation plan just like a business analyst would\n3. **AI builds and implements everything** using a combination of forms, human-in-the-loop tasks, database queries, AI steps, API integrations, and even custom JavaScript/Python code\n4. **Deploy immediately** or iterate. You can manually edit the workflow yourself or with more AI assistance\n\n\n\n### **Combining the best of code and no-code, AI and human-in-the-loop**\n\nWorkflow86 goes beyond just connecting different apps together and builds end-to-end workflows with a range of nodes designed to handle the most complex real-workflow business processes and use cases. \n\n**Visually model complex business processes** and workflows end-to-end in one place via an intuitive visual flow interface with notes, descriptions, and AI explanations to keep everything up-to-date and easy to understand. \n\n\n\n**Run custom code** nodes to provide the power and flexibility of code to handle edge cases and complex, or highly customized steps. \n\n\n\n**Create AI-powered workflows** with AI nodes that use the latest LLMs to perform tasks inside of their workflow, including summarizing content, extracting values, searching the web, and more. \n\n\n\n**Built-in forms and human-in-the-loop** tasks keep everything in check for workflows requiring human review, approvals, and more. \n\n\n\n**Integration nodes to seamlessly connect** to your existing systems and apps, allowing workflows to be triggered from your existing systems and apps (like your CRM, ticketing, email, and HR systems), and to trigger actions and events in these apps as well. \n\n\n\n### Use cases and examples\n\nHere are some real-world examples you can try:\n\n> Create an employee onboarding workflow that sends welcome emails, creates IT tickets for equipment, schedules meetings with the team, and tracks completion of training modules\n\n> Build a contract approval process that routes based on contract value, requires legal review for contracts over $50k, collects digital signatures, and notifies stakeholders\n\n> I need a lead scoring system that enriches leads from our website, scores them based on company size and engagement, assigns to sales reps by territory, and creates follow-up tasks\n\n> Set up a customer refund process that validates the order, checks refund eligibility, gets manager approval for amounts over $500, processes the refund, and updates our CRM\n\n> Create an expense approval workflow where employees submit receipts, AI categorizes expenses, routes to managers based on amount, and syncs approved expenses to QuickBooks\n\n## Try it today\n\nVisit[ workflow86.com](http://workflow86.com) to start for free. Type in a workflow or business process you want to automate and click generate to see our AI in action.\n\nHave a complex workflow in mind? Book a demo and we'll build it with you live.",

But over 80% can't finish what they start. The magic fades as projects grow — bugs multiply, progress stalls, and builders get stuck\n\nThree core problems block non-technical builders:\n\n1. too expensive — costs spiral out of control\n2. too many bugs — issues pile up faster than they can fix\n3. getting help is nearly impossible — especially on closed platforms where backend/integration code is hidden\n\n\n\n### 🟢 The Solution:\n\n### At OpenBuilder, users build for free on a truly open platform, and pay to get unstuck from a real dev.\n\n**Vibe code without limits.**\n\nOpenBuilder uses optimized open-source models to match Claude Sonnet 4's performance—making building completely free.\n\n\n\n**Pay to get unstuck.**\n\nOur interactive debugger helps you first. If that doesn't solve it, you can escalate to a real developer who already has your project context.\n\n\n\n**Truly open platform, no lock-in.**\n\nOpenBuilder is truly open. It's built on VS Code, so you can swap in your own AI model, try different agents, or export your entire codebase anytime.\n\n### Team\n\nPaul & James have known each other for over 10 years. They met while studying CS at the University of Waterloo.\n\nBefore OpenBuilder, they built EasyCode — a popular context-aware coding assistant installed by over 1.5M developers between VS Code and JetBrains. Now they are applying similar technologies to help non-technical builders turn their ideas into reality.\n\n\n\n### Ask\n\n**We're making building accessible to everyone. Non-technical founders shouldn't just start projects—they should finish and ship them.**\n\nHere is how you can help. 🙂\n\n* Follow us on [X](https://x.com/theopenbuilder) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/openbuilder/) and share the launch!\n* We're open sourcing our codebase soon.

"body": "Hey YC community! 👋 We’re Ryan and Drew, and we’re building SolStar 🌟\n\nSolStar builds easy-to-use crypto tools for Discord communities. Our first product, SolStar Tip Bot, is like Venmo for Discord: send crypto to your friends with just a few clicks.\n\n\n\n**The problem with crypto**\n\nCrypto is confusing and intimidating, with no clear entry point for beginners. To purchase crypto from scratch, a new user needs to:\n\n* Know what a crypto wallet is\n* Know where to sign up for one\n* Understand KYC and buy crypto on an exchange\n* Transfer from exchange to wallet\n* Manage to not lose their seed phrase\n\nIf these steps confuse you, you’re not alone. It’s even confusing to experts. This is ridiculous, and it leaves out 99.9% of internet users who aren’t heavy technical adopters. \n\n**SolStar makes crypto easy 🌟**\n\nSolStar makes it possible for anyone to use crypto—even your grandpa!\n\nAll you need to get started is a credit card. Skip the confusing steps above and dive in right away with a secure, approachable tool that makes crypto fun. You can add SolStar Tip Bot to your Discord, check your balance, and send a tip to a friend all within a few minutes.\n\nWhen you use SolStar, you’ll get a secure custodial wallet and easy access to your balance on our site.\n\n\n\nAnother feature we’re excited about - you can now buy tokens directly in Discord! Make it easy to join your community - no crypto experience required.\n\n\n\nAs an added bonus, you can interact with our Ask an AI tool, which features various personalities, including Antagonistic Viking, Honorable Julius Caesar, or Confused Isaac Newton.\n\n\n\n**How It All Began ✨**\n\nWe’re a couple of software engineers who love crypto and gaming. We’ve spent more all-nighters than we can count hanging out in Discord, and we’re big fans of how it’s a user-friendly space to build community.\n\nWe wanted crypto to be more accessible and fun. There’s no better way to onboard people to crypto than to create a simple way for them to start using it in their own communities.\n\nWe wished we had something like SolStar, so we built it ourselves. \n\n**How you can help 💗**\n\n1. If you have a Discord Community, add SolStar for free: \n2. If you belong to a Discord Community, tell your admin or community manager to check out SolStar: \n3. Follow us on Twitter to see our dank memes [@SolStarFinance](https://twitter.com/SolStarFinance)\n4. We love feedback! Let us know what you think below or hit us up at [founders@solstar.finance](mailto:founders@solstar.finance) :)\n5. Join our Discord Community and stay updated on our latest features: \n6. If you care about making crypto more accessible, we’d appreciate the up-vote!",

Many no-code tools have tried to address that issue, enabling developers to code faster or helping end users build web applications on top of Google Sheets or Airtable.\n\nBut let’s face it: they don’t work, and the result is always the same: operations teams go back to spreadsheets.\n\n### **Our solution**\n\nBlitz is a no-code platform to build internal apps and workflows on top of a flexible database—so that:\n\n1. **developers** can focus on developing user-facing features, and don’t have to build and maintain back-office applications anymore\n2. **product managers** have now the capabilities to build internal apps with no tech resources\n3. **operations teams** never have to do the same manual task over and over again\n\n\n\n**Blitz relies on 3 main pillars:**\n\n1. **a reactive database**—design your data model and integrate your business\n2. **an interface designer**—create internal apps using pre-built templates and reusable components\n3. **a workflow builder**—set up backend or frontend triggers with conditions to automate actions\n\n### **Our ask 🙏**\n\n1. **Sign up** to our beta: \n2. **Share** this post! Please help spread the word, and let’s change the way business apps are built and used.\n3. **Connect us** with operations-intensive teams at fast-growing companies (fintech, marketplaces, e-commerce, healthcare…)\\*\n\n _\\* copy & paste this blurb:_ Second employee at Aircall and ex-PayFit product lead are developing a [no-code app](https://www.blitznocode.com/) to build internal tools and automate manual operations.

You can automate your sales process, marketing operations or back-office without writing code (or with, if you’d like to).\n\n—\n\nHi everyone!\n\nWe're [Mohammad](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohammad-abuaboud/) (ex-Google) and [Ashraf](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashrafsam) (3x founder), and here is what we’re building 👇\n\n### 💔 **Problem**\n\nIt can quickly get **too expensive 💰** to use automation tools like Zapier, and if you can’t or hate to **send your data to 3rd parties** [**🔒**](https://emojipedia.org/locked/) it’s already challenging to use these tools.\n\n### 🕺 **Our Product**\n\nActivepieces is a no-code business automation tool. It’s open-source (MIT licensed) and can be self-hosted on your servers.\n\nHere is a 2-min video by our founding engineer Abdul, who’ll explain how to automate sending notifications about a new **Pipedrive** Person to **Slack** and **Email**.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY4TI6jGBwM\n\n### ❇️ **Difference from Zapier**\n\nWhile Zapier offers a cloud service, Activepieces is:\n\n1. **Self-hosted:** You can keep your data on your servers (helpful for data privacy).\n2. **Open-source:** the platform and the connectors (don’t wait for us to build the connector).\n3. **Free** (helpful for .. your pocket).\n\n### 🖌️ **Use Cases**\n\nWe’re working with some users at companies to:\n\n* Automate lead flow: from blogs to MailChimp and CRMs.\n* Centralize notifications: from marketing/sales to Slack workspace.\n* Automate operations: a company is using us to convert pdfs to text, summarize them and submit them to their proofreading team.\n\n### 🟢 **Status**\n\nWe just launched with **15 apps** including OpenAI, HubSpot, MailChimp, Stripe, Pipedrive, Gmail, SendGrid — and adding more.\n\nOur focus is to build the free product and the community around it. Later, we’ll make money from enterprise features.\n\n### 🙏 **Our Ask**\n\nYou can try out Activepieces on the [Playground](https://demo.activepieces.com/sign-up?utm_source=launch&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch_yc) and we’ll be happy if you give us a star ⭐ on our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces)!\n\n### 🖇️ **All links**\n\n* Website: [www.activepieces.com](http://www.activepieces.com?utm_source=launch&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch_yc)\n* Github repo (star us maybe?😳❤️): [https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces](https://github.com/activepieces/activepieces?utm_source=launch&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch_yc)\n* Playground: [https://demo.activepieces.com](https://demo.activepieces.com/sign-up?utm_source=launch&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch_yc)\n* Community (Discord): https://discord.gg/2jUXBKDdP8\n\nI’ll be happy to help anyone get set up (or grow out of Zapier): [founders@activepieces.com](mailto:founders@activepieces.com)",

Without the heavy lift of coding or cobbling together multiple platforms.\n\n[Here’s an intro to the new platform.](https://youtu.be/BF5_oVSQnKQ?feature=shared)\n\n**Key Features:**\n\n* **Prompt to Build:** Describe your integration needs in natural language, and Versori's AI will generate a complete workflow, including connector creation, data mapping, and deployment. [versori.com](http://versori.com)\n* **Flexible Modes**: Use a visual low-code editor, go full-code, or let the AI take the wheel. You’re in control.\n* **Transformer Mapping**: Powered by Agentic AI, we handle complex data transformations and mappings instantly, no manual field-matching required.\n* **Enterprise-Grade Security:** Benefit from SOC 2 compliance, data encryption, isolated environments per organization, and 24/7 monitoring and support.\n\nWe’re here to redefine what’s possible with integrations. Faster builds, deeper automation, more control, with the power of generative AI behind every step.",

Complex iPaaS solutions aren’t easy, and easy iPaaS solutions aren’t complex.\n\n### **The Solution 😊**\n\nVersori “Switchboard” is a no-code system and data integration platform, primarily for major retailers that lets them connect any internal system to any external system without hiring expensive consultants. \n\nFor example, Sephora used Versori to build an integration that imports 3rd party brand products into its own ecommerce site in a few clicks. Reducing integration time from 9 weeks to 2 hours.\n\n[Here’s an intro video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7T1z3nxoD0&t=3s&ab_channel=Versori)\n\n**Create data sources (connectors) in seconds, not weeks.**\n\n* Drag and drop or paste the URL to your API specs\n* Switchboard strips and stores the auth and server types, end points, operations and schemas.\n\n**Build complex and advanced integrations with no-code tools**\n\n* **_Transformer_** provides functionality to take data from multiple sources into a format suited for your target, with all the features you’d expect such as filtering, converting and mapping.\n* **_Selectors_** gives you access to any data from all previous steps in your board, allowing you to perform complex tasks such as merging or flow-control.\n* **_Data Mapping_** allows you to define mappings where some value in one system is equivalent to another value in another system. These can be defined up front in our dashboard, or interactively updated within your board.\n* **_Filter_** allows you to stop or continue execution of a workflow based on a set of conditions. These conditions can be as simple or as complex as your data requires, and can be combined with Selectors to compare data from multiple workflow steps.\n* **_Delay_** halts execution of the current message until a predefined duration has elapsed.\n* **_Batch_** aggregates all data received over a specified batch period before releasing the result to subsequent steps and is useful when integrating real-time APIs with bulk import/export APIs.\n* **_Trigger_** allows a board to be triggered manually or via a schedule instead of via an external API call\n* **_CSV Processing_** allows you to truncate, join and deduplicate CSV files\n* **_Splitter_** takes in an array and outputs multiple new messages for each element in that array\n\n**Deploy integrations and workflows your way**\n\n* Public Cloud\n* Private Cloud\n* On Prem\n* SDK\n\n### **We can integrate your systems, that Zapier can’t.. ⚡️**\n\nYou need the break free from the static guard rails of existing integration platforms!\n\nIf your company has bespoke system or data integration requirements, that can’t be done with an existing IPaaS provider, please reach out to us at [sales@versori.io](mailto:sales@versori.io). We would love to give you a demo!\n\n### **The Deal 🤑**\n\nFor all YC Alum, the first 10,000 data messages are on the house!",

Our assistant cites its sources, **admits when it doesn’t know**, and hands off to your support channels.\n\n\n\n**Copilot for support teams**\n\nWhen your support team needs to step in, our CX copilot:\n\n✍️ Drafts detailed answers\n\n🔗 Links to relevant docs and past tickets\n\n⚡ Summarizes long tickets \n\n🔔 Suggests to-dos and next steps\n\n[Demo:](https://youtu.be/4_yEpMkdua4)\n\n**Tools to fix content gaps**\n\nThe #1 way to improve support over time is to improve your content (or product).\\\nInkeep helps close that loop with:\n\n1. [AI reports](https://docs.inkeep.com/analytics/reports) that pinpoint and prioritize gaps in your content.\n2. A [Ticket to FAQ](https://go.inkeep.com/ticket-into-faq) tool to create new content from closed tickets.\n\n\n\n### **🙏 Our Ask**\n\n* Want to try an AI assistant powered by your content?

We use LLMs to understand a company’s docs, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow questions, and more to answer developer questions and increase customer activation.\n\n### **Our Team:**\n\nHi YC, we’re [Robert Tran](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-tran-profile/) and [Nick Gomez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwinngomez/) from Inkeep!\n\n\n\nWe met eight years ago at MIT as undergrads. After MIT, Nick was a Senior Product Manager working on developer experiences for Microsoft’s identity products. Robert was Head of Engineering at illlumis (acquired), building large-scale data aggregation pipelines for public datasets.\n\nWith years of experience building developer-focused products, we are excited to build Inkeep.\n\n### **Problem:** Any blocker or unanswered question is a drop-off point\n\nDevelopers evaluate a product by how easy it is to get started and use it for their use case. Optimizing this experience is the #1 goal for many developer-focused companies, but it’s hard to do well because:\n\n* Knowledge about the product is scattered across docs, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, forums, private communities, and more.\n* Answering technical issues and questions at scale is hard.\n* Developers often prefer to self-troubleshoot.\n\n### **Solution:** Conversational search powered by all your existing content\n\n[Inkeep](https://www.inkeep.com/?utm_campaign=yc) automatically indexes all of a developer tool company’s content with zero effort required. We use fine-tuned LLMs that fully understand your product to power search and chat experiences tailored for developers.\n\nInkeep is embeddable as a:\n\n* Search bar for your docs\n* Chat widget for your app or landing page\n* Slack or Discord bot for your community\n\nYour developers can search or ask anything and get answers immediately. And you’ll be able to get insights on what they're getting stuck on.\n\n\n\n\n### **Our asks:**\n\n* Interested in adding Inkeep to your developer product? We’d love to [show you a demo](https://calendly.com/nickgomez/inkeep-demo-20mins).\n* Connect us with folks who are obsessed with developer experience & activation.\n\nGet in touch at: [founders@inkeep.com](mailto:founders@inkeep.com) \\\nLearn more at: [Inkeep.com](https://www.inkeep.com/?utm_campaign=yc)",

"body": "### **☕️TL;DR**\n\n**Fastgen is a low-code API and workflow builder with an integrated Postgres DB.**\n\n**Our current customers use Fastgen to build backends for MVPs or internal tools and automate repetitive workflows for GTM, operations, or marketing teams.**\n\n\n\n### **Origin Story**\n\nThis is our second YC company. With Blair (YC S19), we raised more than $100M to help students get access to education in the US. One of our constant questions was how we could move even faster. We are building Fastgen to answer that question and are building a tool we wish we had during our time at Blair.\n\n## **What is Fastgen**\n\n### **REST APIs**\n\nFastgen's API Builder enables you to quickly create any REST API by using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Our platform also includes pre-built integrations to popular tools such as Sendgrid, Slack, and Twilio and the ability to connect to any external API you need for data exchange. We launch new integrations every week to make our users’ lives even easier. Instead of spending hours integrating third-party APIs and dealing with hosting, you can drag and drop the action into an API flow and deploy it with the click of a button. \n\n\n\n### **Workflows**\n\nWith Fastgen, you can create time-based workflows that trigger at regular intervals and event-based workflows through the same user interface as the API builder. One of the standout features of Fastgen is the flexibility to define any action in a workflow or API as a custom event, which can then be utilized as a trigger for a separate workflow. \n\n### **Database**\n\nFastgen's integrated Postgres DB simplifies creating, reading, updating, and deleting data within your applications. You can easily build and manage your database alongside your APIs and workflows, all within one platform. If you have your own Postgres DB and don't want to use our hosted solution, Fastgen seamlessly connects to your database so you can take advantage of our platform's other features without changing your database setup.\n\n\n\n**Our ask:**\n\n* If you want to be part of our private beta, sign up on [fastgen.com](http://fastgen.com)\n* Mention that you saw us on Launch YC for prioritized onboarding",

Srcbook is a notebook-style programming environment and the best way to prototype code, explore libraries, learn concepts, and rapidly iterate on your ideas with TypeScript. It runs locally, has powerful AI features, and exports to markdown for maximum portability.\n\n[**https://www.loom.com/share/f0ea7257d9c544848f4128cf0ccba8ae?sid=d5a51920-8c37-4b10-90ee-414170dfeb5d**](https://www.loom.com/share/f0ea7257d9c544848f4128cf0ccba8ae?sid=d5a51920-8c37-4b10-90ee-414170dfeb5d)\n\n### Origin story\n\nWe are very bullish on AI moving from being a Python discipline in the ML era to a TypeScript discipline in the Generative AI era. We previously tried building multiple products to serve this new TypeScript-AI wave, but we quickly realized that most teams don’t want low-code GUI tools to do evals or build agents with drag-and-drop. What they actually want is to write code but do so with rapid iterations. In Python, they automatically reach out to Jupyter for such workflows, but in TypeScript? We found that there was a large gap… We realized that a TypeScript notebook would be useful for many use cases, not just applied gen-AI, and so we started building.\n\n### The product\n\nSrcbook is a beautiful, open-source, local-first application to write and iterate on TypeScript code. It’s available today on npm: `npx srcbook start`\n\n\n\nSome key features:\n\n* Full npm ecosystem access\n* AI-assisted coding (OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models), with notebook-specific advantages and a natural “pair-programmer” UX\n* Exports to valid markdown for easy sharing and version control\n\nWe recently [launched on HN](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41291700) and devs really seem to like it, all our graphs started looking like this!\n\n\n\n### Demo\n\nIn this video, you can see Nick using the genAI features to bootstrap a CLI-based chess game in a few minutes.\n\n\n\n### Asks\n\nTry Srcbook out! It’s free, just `npm srcbook start` in any terminal.\n\nStarring us on [GitHub](https://github.com/srcbookdev/srcbook/tree/main) also helps, although what we really want is for you to build cool stuff with Srcbook. If you make a good Srcbook, send it our way, and we will showcase it in the [Hub](https://hub.srcbook.com).\n\n\n\nPS: We’re [Ben](https://linkedin.com/in/bereinhart) and [Nick](https://linkedin.com/in/nicholas-charriere), been building together for 5+ years at Cruise and other startups, and we love TypeScript. If you do too, reach out and let’s chat!",

"body": "**tl;dr** Axilla is a framework for the AI engineer of the future: a product-focused TypeScript developer. Axilla provides a family of modular libraries, which can be incrementally adopted, and together form an **end-to-end opinionated framework for LLM development**.\n\n### The team\n\nHey there 👋, we’re [**@Ben Reinhart**](https://linkedin.com/in/bereinhart) and [**@Nicholas Charriere**](https://linkedin.com/in/nicholas-charriere).\n\n\n\nWe first started working together on ML platforms at Cruise, a leading self-driving car company, where we spent 4 years on the ML platform team. This is also where we became great friends!\n\nAt Cruise, we’ve seen the productivity losses that result from a fragmented ML organization. We then spent years designing and building a standardized framework and personally experienced the productivity superpowers that resulted from the framework’s adoption.\n\n### 🤨 The problem\n\nAn accelerating trend in the AI landscape is the shift from in-house model training to foundational models abstracted away behind APIs (chatGPT, Midjourney, llama2…).\n\nA consequence of this trend is that AI teams are morphing from Python-focused data scientists to resemble typical product engineering teams: full-stack web developers increasingly coding AI applications in TypeScript.\n\nWe’ve spoken to a number of enterprise customers who’ve confirmed their product teams are now responsible for designing and launching new AI initiatives, especially ones involving LLMs. However, given how recent the explosion of LLMs is, **these product engineers don’t yet have the tools** **to ship AI features quickly and with confidence**.\n\n### 💡 The solution\n\n[**Axilla**](https://www.axilla.io/) provides a family of modular and coherent libraries which together form an end-to-end opinionated framework for LLM development. It is aimed at TypeScript developers who want to build and operate production-grade AI applications.\n\nIt’s early, but in the last three weeks we launched our first two modules:\n\n1. [**axgen**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax/tree/main/packages/axgen) is focused on data ingestion and retrieval\n2. [**axeval**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax/tree/main/packages/axeval) is focused on continuous evaluation & quality monitoring\n\nNext, we are excited to begin work on model serving and monitoring, which are two of our most critical components. Together, these integrate production data back into the continuous evaluation pipelines, enable enterprises to run open-source models internally, and **allow developers to stop flying blind** when it comes to their AI applications.\n\n### Demo\n\nAs part of our first release, we built a proof of concept that demonstrates how to build a “chat with your documents” application using axgen.\n\n\n\n### Asks\n\n[**Try axilla**](https://github.com/axilla-io/ax) today! It’s open source and available on npm. If you like it, **give it a star** ⭐️, and come join the conversation on [twitter](https://twitter.com/axilla_io).\n\nAre you a product engineer building AI applications (especially with TypeScript)? We’d love to [chat](https://calendly.com/nichochar/15min-chat-with-nicholas)!",

"tagline": "Lytix is one control panel to observe, manage and optimize your E2E LLM stack.",
"body": "**TL;DR: Lytix is one control panel to observe, manage and optimize your E2E LLM stack. From early model experimentation to guardrails and specific evaluations, lytix helps teams at any stage save money, move faster, and minimize tech debt.**\n\n⚠️ **The Problem**\n\n1. You want to use and experiment with multiple models, but setting up interfaces per provider/model is painful and slows you down.\n2. As your product gets more specific, tracking performance becomes more challenging as off-the-shelf metrics lack the domain context to evaluate the unique attributes _you_ care about.\n3. You want to protect your inference calls against known failures, but finding + integrating the right guardrails for your use case is time-consuming and confusing.\n4. Simple logging is great, but it gets hard to interpret and find bugs quickly, especially if you have multiple LLM tasks all being logged in a single place.\n\n**⚡ Our Solution**\n\nLytix helps teams of all sizes build faster, save money, and minimize tech debt.\n\n**Single Gateway For All Models & Providers.**\n\n1. Integrate [seamlessly](https://docs.lytix.co/Quickstart/openai-integration) with your existing stack to quickly get started.\n2. Instantly gain access to 25+ models; switching between models becomes a 1-line change.\n3. Our code is open-source, so you can always add more providers and models that are specific to you.\n\n\n\n**Guardrails & Alerts**\n\n1. An intuitive and flexible framework for adding SOTA guardrails to your inference calls, and set up real-time fallback logic\n2. Configure alerts in **seconds**, to instantly get alerted when guardrails fail\n\n\n\n**Build Specific Evaluations**\n\n1. Easily build new eval metrics bespoke to _your_ product, factoring specific domain knowledge and context.\n2. Track how your specific evals perform over time, and easily find anomalous sessions or problematic users.\n3. Move beyond ‘feelings’, and start to quantify your results as you experiment with different configurations, model combinations and prompts.\n\n\n\n**Grouping LLM events by task**\n\n1. Instead of a single stream of logs, lytix divides your logs by the task they belong to.\n2. Debug errors faster by viewing them in the right context.\n3. Cut critical metrics (like cost, latency, error rates) by task, to answer questions like ‘what is our most expensive task?’ or “which tasks are failing the most?”\n\n\n\n**Product + LLM Insights**\n\n* Identify themes and patterns in your LLM interactions\n* Export that LLM events, with evals, to product analytic tools (such as Posthog) to combine product and LLM metrics into a single insight (i.e., cut conversation length by prompt).\n\n\n\n**And much more…**\n\n* Bring your own cache: own your data and save money on requests by hosting your own cache\n* Playground to test new or existing events against 25+ models\n* Cost + Token usage tracking\n* Datasets to collect events for fine-tuning\n\n🪩 **The Team**\n\nWe’ve both worked in the tech, and have known each other since high school.\n\nSahil worked as a product manager at Intuit, working on teams all over the world. For QuickBooks international, he launched localized sales tax and “send invoice via WhatsApp” increasing 91d retention, subscription rates, and invoice sends for emerging markets. He also worked on complex machine learning systems, working on matchmaking models for QuickBooks Live.\n\nSid worked at a verity of startups after college working on a breath of tasks from cybersecurity to infrastructure and devops. He was cited as an author on a state of the art cryptography [white-paper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/296.pdf) and has helped teams containerize and migrate infrastructure while maintaining 50,000+ active users.\n\nWe are builders at heart and believe that lytix is the future of how to build and scale LLM products.\n\n\n\n**🚀 Lytix can be used today!**\n\n* [Free to start](http://lab.lytix.co/home/login/) and use up to 100k messages.\n* We love learning about problems, if you have any in the LLM space we’d love to be helpful and [chat](https://book.vimcal.com/p/sahilsinha/30minutes-8347b)!\n* Check out our [open-source](https://github.com/Lytix-Labs/optimodel) work and get 24/7 support on our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/u2MFEnhmv3)\n* Follow our socials on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/103001009/) and [X](https://x.com/lytixai)",

"body": "**Everything LLM teams need, to build something your users love. Get started **[**here**](https://www.lytix.co/)**.**\n\n\n\n# The Problem ❌\n\nMonitoring and testing LLMs is notoriously challenging. Specifically:\n\n1. **Product insights & monitoring** - how can I see how different customers are using my LLM stack?\n\n > What are users talking to my bot about? What questions are users asking my search system?\n2. **Testing** - I just made a change to my code. How can I confirm it’s making the change I intended? How can I make sure I haven’t introduced unexpected side effects?\n\n > _Will making my bot faster make it less reliable? Will switching LLM providers make our system too slow for our customers_\n3. **E2E analytics** - Product 🤝 LLM metrics. How can I see how changes to my LLM stack are impacting my primary product metrics?\n\n > _I just changed my RAG pipeline, is that improving my conversion rates? Which prompt gives us the best activation rate? What are high vs. low value customers talking to my bot about?_\n4. **Errors** - I’m using 4+ providers across my LLM stack, each with its own logging system and dashboard. How can I quickly view the root cause of my errors and get all the context I need in one place?\n\n**We’ve seen teams waste weeks of dev time building internal tools to solve these problems instead of building what their users want.**\n\n# The Solution 🛠️\n\nLytix brings insights, testing, and E2E analytics to your LLM stack with minimal changes to your existing codebase.\n\n# Product insights 🔎 & monitoring 👀\n\n1. Add a tracer function to any aspect of your LLM stack you’d like monitored\n\n \n\n2. _\\[Optional\\]_ - in the Lytix dashboard, define some ‘themes’ you’d like Lytix to start tagging your sessions as. For ex. ‘questions about math’\n\n \n\n3. If you do not define an intent - Lytix will auto-tag each session with an intent that best summarizes the session.\n4. You can always explore previous sessions and re-configure your themes to change how they appear in your analytics stack\n\n# E2E analytics 📊 ( for ex. PostHog 🦔)\n\n1. Save your PostHog API key in your Lytix account (under settings)\n2. Whenever Lytix sees a new session, we’ll tag it (with the intents you’ve configured), and import them into Posthog with all the associated metadata\n3. In PostHog, you’ll see a “lytix_event” → this event describes your users’ sessions with your LLM stack. **Bring this into your funnel analysis, retention charts, etc., to include your LLM sessions in your product insights**\n\n \n\n\n# Errors 🚨\n\n1. Wherever you throw an error, use the new Lytix LError class.\n\n ```\n async def backgroundProcess():\n logger = LLogger(\"background-logger\", {\"userId\": '124'})\n logger.info(\"Some process is starting\")\n raise LError(\"An unexpected error\")\n \n ```\n2. Anytime the error is thrown in production, you’ll find all relevant logs and metadata in your Lytix dashboard\n\n \n\n\nTo try it out yourself, head over to . You’ll also get 2 founders on deck as analysts to ask any questions about how your customers are using your products 🚀.\n\nAnd get in touch if you:\n\n1. Are about to launch - and would like to chat about best practices\n2. Recently launched - and are thinking about effective analytics and monitoring\n3. Or have a hair-on-fire problem you need to be taken care of!",

"tagline": "Saving businesses time and resources by automating back-office work across your browser, such as filling out forms, entering information into a CRM, & much more.",
"body": "Hey everyone! We’re [**Pascal**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-wieler/) and [**Ken**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-hendricks-96181611a/), here to introduce you to [**Basepilot**](https://www.basepilot.com/).\n\n# **TL;DR:**\n\nBasepilot creates AI assistants to automate repetitive and manual work across a browser. We help companies save 30% of their time weekly and cut costs, freeing up resources for more high-value tasks. For example, finance, recruitment, or sales teams can automate mundane back-office tasks within a few clicks and a quick demonstration.\n\n\n\n# **Where Basepilot can help you:**\n\n* **Sales** - To help automate sales outreach, prospecting, and follow-ups.\n* **Recruitment** - To help with sourcing candidates and clients, and analyzing and triaging profiles.\n* **Finance** - To help fill in applications/forms, transfer data, do accounting ops, and update customer details.\n* & any other manual task across your browser!\n\n# **Problem - 30% of a business’s total time and resources is wasted on mundane repetitive work**\n\nCurrently, businesses employ teams of knowledge workers (in sales, ops, recruitment, finance, and more) that face a lot of manual and repetitive processes that slow them down. Although critical to get done, these tasks take hours away from doing more high-value work leading to frustration and lower output among teams.\n\n**For a business, this results in:**\n\n* 30% of their team’s time wasted on mindless tasks\n* Wasted resources spent on hiring more people to handle the workload\n* Increased error rates through manual boring work\n\nFor example, a recruitment firm spends 8+ hours/week per recruiter on repetitive admin work to source candidates, analyze applications and enter data, instead of talking to candidates!\n\n\n\n**Existing solutions suck!**\n\n* Off-the-shelf tools often don’t work as workflows are very specific to a company.\n* Automating processes with tools like UI Path is extremely expensive, requires specialist automation engineers and takes several weeks or months to set up.\n\n# **Solution - Automate repetitive tasks in minutes**\n\nBasepilot makes it super easy for a business to build and train their own AI employees, enabling anyone in the company to automate their mundane and repetitive work, freeing up time for more high-value tasks.\n\n\n\nWe designed Basepilot with these core principles in mind:\n\n* **Works where you work:** Basepilot works across the tools you already use right in your browser as a Chrome extension. No need to adopt new tools or change your workflows.\n* **Teach it like a human:** There’s no need to get technical or hire an expensive automation team, simply train your new assistant to complete work, just like you’d teach a human: by showing and telling.\n* **Faster ROI (at lower cost):** Automate workflows in minutes, not weeks or months. Unlike traditional automation tools, Basepilot can get set up and operational in a fraction of the time & cost.\n* **Keep control:** Basepilot operates in your tabs, allowing you to check in and see what’s happening in real-time while you focus on more high-value work, e.g. engaging in customer conversations while Basepilot sources new leads in the background.\n\n\n\n# **Meet Ken & Pascal 🇳🇿🇩🇪➡️🇺🇸**\n\n[**Pascal**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-wieler/) & [**Ken**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ken-hendricks-96181611a/) both independently traveled to San Francisco in the summer of 2023 (from Germany & New Zealand respectively). We came here without knowing each other to explore the startup space and build the future 💪🏼🔨🚀. While in SF, we met through common friends, vibed well, and started working together. We moved across the world to work together in Europe, and got into YC - which brought us back to the city!

"body": "# **TL;DR:**\n\nEmergent is the best vibe coding tool for transforming your ideas into fully functional, production-ready apps. No developers are required.\n\n# **🚀 Introducing Emergent 🚀**\n\nEmergent is your on-demand CTO and founding engineer, reinventing product development. Our state-of-the-art (SOTA) coding agents deliver production-ready, full-stack applications with stunning UI and real backend, transforming ideas into market-ready products. No developers are required.\n\nWe go beyond just prototypes and mockups. Emergent ships fully functional apps with real backend, databases, and integrations -- built and deployed without ever leaving the platform.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/lT2dRng4fc0\n\n### **😖 The Problem:**\n\nShipping products is hard for non-technical builders, due to expensive engineering talent, inflexible no-code platforms, or AI tools that produce half-baked prototypes. As a result, most ideas never make it past the whiteboard or overcome the barriers to real-world execution.\n\n### **🤓 Our Solution:**\n\nEmergent redefines how a product gets built. At its core, Emergent is more than a coding assistant. It's a fully integrated platform that autonomously builds, tests, and ships software. What Emergent stands for: \n\n* Conversation-to-code transformation: Describe your product in plain language — Emergent handles architecture, logic, and implementation.\n* Fully Autonomous End-to-End Development: Our agents plan, build, test, and debug apps fully autonomously to produce shippable apps.\n* Built-in deployment: Ship fast and learn faster. Emergent manages the entire product lifecycle, from concept to customers.\n\n### **👷🏽 Why We're Building This**\n\nEmergent aims to democratize access to advanced software creation, empowering new builders to turn their visions into reality without traditional barriers. We’ve watched great ideas get stuck on whiteboards because building them was too hard, expensive, or slow. As engineers and builders, we saw that AI could change this by writing code, truly understanding what’s needed, and building complete solutions.\n\n\n\n### **🥷🏼 Emergent In Action**\n\nJust two weeks after our alpha launch, users built over 10,000 apps on Emergent. These range from simple, elegant landing pages to complex SaaS tools like AI notetakers, Slack bots, and Figma plugins — endless possibilities.\n\nHere are some apps built by our users:\n\n* https://youtu.be/coGyUTUrpJY\n* https://youtu.be/yXdk_feMJ4E\n* https://youtu.be/etipqXln6zY\n\n_Please note: Emergent is still invite-only, but we’ll be launching to the public soon. Want early access? Use code: #**EMERGENTFORYC**_\n\n### **🦄 Team**\n\nEmergent was founded by twin brothers **Mukund Jha (CEO)** and **Madhav Jha (CTO)**, who are dedicated to democratizing product development and making it more accessible.\n\n* Mukund was previously Co-Founder/CTO at Dunzo -- India's first quick commerce offering (backed by Google and Reliance). He is a graduate of Columbia Engineering and has experience working at Google.\n* Madhav got his PhD in Theoretical Computer Science from Penn State University and was a von Neumann postdoctoral fellow at Sandia National Labs. He was the founding member of the research team that built and shipped Amazon Sagemaker.\n\nOutside of work, the Jha brothers enjoy spending time with family and friends in both San Francisco and Bengaluru.\n\n\n\nxoxo\n\nTeam Emergent 🫡\n\n\n\n",

"question": "What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?",
"answer": "The first hour with an AI app builder is misleading. A user enters a prompt, gets polished screens and a functional first version, and thinks the app is nearly finished. The hard part begins later, when they add authentication, payments, user data, permissions, subscriptions, analytics, and the next 20 changes.\r\n\r\nThe problem is not that AI cannot generate code. It is that a real app is a connected system of product, design, data, and engineering decisions. When those decisions are not made explicitly, the AI guesses. Each guess may work on its own while conflicting with another part of the app, so every new feature makes the product harder to fix, test, and launch.\r\n\r\nThis matters because AI has opened app development to people who should not need to act as a product manager, designer, engineer, and QA lead at the same time. Existing tools give them generation without the structure needed to turn an idea into a durable product.\r\n\r\nWe started x1 after seeing the same pattern repeatedly: people could create an impressive demo quickly, then became trapped in prompt-and-fix loops. x1 asks the important questions first, turns the answers into a plan, lets users design the screens before development, builds in milestones, and verifies each step before moving on.\r\n\r\nThe goal is not just a faster demo. It is a working iPhone app that can keep improving."

"question": "What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?",
"answer": "Our long-term vision is to make it possible for one person to build and run a serious app company.\r\n\r\nToday, launching an app requires product planning, design, mobile engineering, backend infrastructure, testing, App Store operations, monetization, analytics, marketing, customer support, and ongoing iteration. AI can generate pieces of that work, but the founder still has to coordinate disconnected tools and repeatedly explain the product from scratch.\r\n\r\nx1 will become the shared system for the entire app lifecycle. It will remember the product, users, design, data, and prior decisions, then carry that context into future releases, App Store assets, subscriptions, analytics, experiments, marketing, and customer feedback.\r\n\r\nA founder should be able to go from an idea to an app, from an app to a launch, and from a launch to a growing business without assembling a traditional software team.\r\n\r\nIf we succeed, people with strong ideas, taste, domain expertise, or distribution will be able to create durable app businesses on their own. x1 will be the operating system for one-person app companies."

Hundreds of millions of people already spend their day in Claude or ChatGPT - and increasingly, when they need an app, they won't buy one. They'll describe it, and it will exist.\r\n\r\nWe're building the infrastructure that makes that real. When Claude creates an app, it needs somewhere for that app to live: a backend, a database, hosting, a domain, the ability to scale, various services, maybe even to be able to work as a mobile app. Floot is that place - a full stack purpose-built for AI to operate, from a specialized framework that defines how AI writes and runs code, down to scalable hosting on AWS.\r\n\r\nThis means you can now build and ship real apps directly inside Claude and ChatGPT. Connect Floot, and the model you already pay for writes and debugs the code, shows a live preview, and publishes to your own domain. No need to wire up git, vercel, supabase and a dozen other providers. And no AI credits - every message runs on the subscription you already have, because we charge for the platform, not for a token markup.\r\n\r\nWe built Floot this way because we've watched the model layer commoditize - every serious builder writes good code now, including us. The lasting value isn't another agent between you and the model. It's the layer underneath, from wherever people already are. We're building Floot to be the home for all operation software, for the decades where most new software on earth is written by AI.\r\n\r\n✨ Try it: floot.com\r\n",

"title": "Floot - The easiest and most powerful AI app builder",
"tagline": "The fastest way for non-coders & entrepreneurs to build apps that actually work.",
"body": "Hi everyone 👋 We’re Edward and Yujian, the founders of Floot!\n\n**TLDR:** Floot lets non-coders & entrepreneurs build real web apps that actually work. We’re taking a new approach by building everything from the ground up for AI.\n\n✨ [Try building an app right now!](https://floot.com)\n\n# The Problem\n\nExisting AI app builders fall short of enabling non-coders to build real, serious apps. They often:\n\n* **Break down** when building anything more than a prototype or toy app\n* **Have non-coders stuck** with errors they don’t understand\n* **Require non-coders to handle multiple services** designed for developers (e.g. for backend, database, hosting, etc)\n\n**The fundamental problem**: these AI app builders just cobble together existing developer tools and slap AI on top, but these tools were designed for humans and not for AI.\n\nThe result? Non-coders get excited, start building, hit a wall, and then abandon their projects.\n\n# Our Solution\n\nFloot is purpose-built for AI. Our secret sauce:\n\n1. Instead of reusing a coding framework designed for humans, **we created a specialized framework** that dictates how AI should write code and how the code runs on our infrastructure. This allows us to enforce best practices, detect errors earlier, and give the best feedback to the AI. As a result, Floot can write better code and fix issues more effectively.\n2. **Floot has the entire tech stack built-in** (backend, database, hosting, etc) so building and managing an app feels seamless, especially for non-coders. And because we control every layer of the stack, we can optimize each layer for AI-first coding.\n\nBecause of this, **non-coders can get more done with less time** and prompting. They can finally **build serious apps** that work, instead of getting stuck in frustrating error loops and then abandoning their projects.\n\nWe also built a **highly scalable hosting system** directly on AWS so Floot apps can handle real traffic and business demands. This means non-coders can build, deploy, and scale their apps on a single platform seamlessly.\n\nPlus, **Floot is really fun to use**! It takes your prompt, breaks it down, and shows you how it accomplishes each step. If it sees a bug while building, it lets you know and fixes it right away.\n\nYou can even draw on your app to visually communicate the changes you want:\n\n\n\n**Here’s what a customer said about Floot:**\n\n_I'd tried other platforms but could never advance far enough to feel truly productive. The time investment and constant token usage just to fix issues had me ready to hire a developer again. With Floot, I had a working app within a week, even working in my off-hours, and started beta testing with my team days later. We estimate Floot has saved us around $20,000 so far. Best of all, their customer support has gone above and beyond at every turn._\n\n✨ [Try Floot yourself!](https://floot.com) (bonus: build something you’ve made in other tools to compare)\n\n# Why are we building this?\n\nWe believe that existing tools are based on technologies built for human developers and ill-suited for the future of AI writing most of the code. The whole toolchain of building and maintaining software desperately needs to adapt to the new reality. We are starting with web apps with the goal of evolving into the new foundation of software, empowering the next generation of builders.\n\n# Team\n\n[Yujian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/yjyao/) was a staff software engineer at Retool and Asana. At Retool, he rebuilt the entire runtime to optimize the user experience for builders. At Asana, he built the rich editor that powers every task and comment. Yujian ranked 4th in the National Olympiad in Informatics, Singapore.\n\n[Edward](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edwlk/) scaled his SaaS to 10k+ customers by taking something technically complex and making it accessible to non-technical users, and now he’s doing the same with Floot. For his SaaS, he built a highly scalable and reliable distributed system to handle low-latency applications.

"tagline": "Build agent without waiting for the engineering team",
"body": "\n\n**TL;DR:** Nexus is a platform enabling non-technical business teams to create production-ready AI agents in days, not months.\n\n---\n\n## We're Nexus\n\nWe're Assem and Shady, the Nexus team. We've been in the AI trenches since 2019, and we kept watching the same painful pattern repeat at every enterprise.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/ItX32Iqx2I8\n\n---\n\n# The Problem: 95% of Enterprise AI Projects Fail\n\n**MIT reported in August 2025 that 95% of enterprise AI projects fail.** The reason? Engineering can't ship fast enough.\n\nConsider this scenario: Your sales team needs an AI agent to qualify leads, research companies, and personalize outreach. It's a perfect use case for AI. You know exactly what you need.\n\nBut here's what actually happens:\n\n* **Engineering has a 6-12 month backlog** – Your project gets queued behind critical infrastructure work\n* **By the time they start building**, GPT-5 is out and your GPT-3.5 solution is already obsolete\n* **By the time they finish**, your business needs have completely changed – that lead qualification process? Your team evolved it three times already\n* **The solution is rigid** – Any change means another engineering ticket and another 3-month wait\n\nWe watched this pattern destroy brilliant AI initiatives across industries. A telecom giant had a chatbot stuck with IT for over a year. Global consultancies spent 6+ months with external developers with nothing to show. Private equity firms rebuilt the same infrastructure from scratch, over and over.\n\n**Companies that lose on speed lose big.** While you wait, competitors are moving. Markets are shifting. Opportunities are disappearing.\n\nThe bottleneck isn't ideas, budget, or even AI capabilities. **It's implementation speed.**\n\n---\n\n# The Solution: Give Business Teams the Power to Build\n\nInstead of waiting for engineering or buying rigid pre-built solutions, Nexus gives enterprises the infrastructure to build their own agents reliably – **no code required**.\n\n### **How It Works:**\n\n**1. Create agents with natural language**\n\nDescribe what you want in plain English. \"Build a agent that screens job applications, checks LinkedIn profiles, and schedules interviews with qualified candidates.\" and Nexus kickstarts the building of your agent from scratch\n\n\n\n**2. Connect your entire company stack**\n\nConnect any system, choose any AI model, integrate any tool. With 4,000+ plugins plus custom API support, your agents work with your entire tech stack. No vendor lock-in\n\n\n\n\n**3. Build complex agentic workflows**\\\nVisual builder with AI actions, web search, data extraction, and integration with over 4,000 business apps. No coding, just drag and drop.\n\n\n\n**4. The Secret Sauce: Nexus Flow**\n\nTraditional automation forces a bad tradeoff:\n\n* **RPA tools** – Work perfectly until your process changes (then break instantly)\n* **AI workflows** – Handle some variation but hit walls with real complexity\n* **Open-ended agents** – Might solve it brilliantly. Might hallucinate. You never know.\n\n**Nexus gives you both:** Our Agentic Flow lets you decide when agents should think and adapt vs. when they need zero-hallucination reliability. Full intelligence when you need it, bulletproof accuracy when it matters.\n\n---\n\n# Proven at Scale: Orange Belgium\n\nhttps://youtu.be/MEvaTTG9IrY\n\nOrange Belgium needed to transform their customer onboarding. Previous scripted chatbots were a good start, but customers expected natural conversations, not predefined menus.\n\n**A non-technical team member used Nexus to build a complete AI sales agent in one week:**\n\n* Connected to Orange's entire product catalog and internal systems\n* Deployed on WhatsApp for omnichannel customer reach\n* Is relentless about closing the sales while answering concerns\n* Live in production, serving thousands of customers\n\n**The Results:**\n\n* **$4M+ in monthly revenue** generated by this single agent\n* **+50% conversion rate**\n* **+10 points customer satisfaction**\n\n_\"With Nexus, we've given every prospect a knowledgeable consultant available 24/7. It's like speaking to our best-trained advisor, anytime.\"_ – Laurent Stevens, Digital Performance Specialist, Orange Belgium\n\n---\n\n---\n\n# How We Got Here\n\nWe've been building AI systems since 2019, pre-ChatGPT. We helped enterprises implement everything from custom LLM pipelines to agentic workflows.\n\n**The breaking point came when we saw the same infrastructure being rebuilt over and over:**\n\n* Prompt engineering frameworks\n* Evaluation pipelines\n* Testing infrastructure\n* Integration layers\n* Deployment systems\n* Monitoring and observability\n\nEvery enterprise was spending 6-12 months building the exact same foundation. Meanwhile, brilliant AI ideas died in committee meetings and engineering backlogs.\n\nWe thought: **What if we built this infrastructure once, made it enterprise-grade, and let business teams build on top of it?**\n\nThat's when we knew we had something.\n\n---\n\n# Our Ask\n\nWe'd love to help automate your workflows – or connect you with enterprises that need this!\n\n**If you know someone at a large organization (200+ employees) with:**\n\n* A challenging AI roadmap stuck in implementation\n* A need to integrate reliable AI across multiple departments\n* Frustration with current solutions or development speed\n\n**We'd love to chat.** Reach out to [**assem@gpt.nexus**](mailto:assem@gpt.nexus) and we can set up time to discuss how Nexus could help, or book directly at https://calendly.com/assem-obpv/nexus-demo-call\n\n---\n\n_P.S. – We're SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and GDPR certified. Enterprise-grade security is built in from day one._ 🚀",

"body": "Hi! 👋\n\nWe’re [Fabian](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabian-lindfors/) and [Iman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/iman-radjavi/), and we’re building [Specific](https://specific.dev/) — an agent that builds and deploys backends from natural language.\n\nSpecific makes it effortless to create, scale, and manage production-ready backends, without configuration or coding. Just describe what you need, and Specific builds it.\n\n# Why we are working on this\n\nWe’ve spent our careers as engineers building and maintaining complex backend systems, and learning firsthand what it takes to make them reliable, secure, and scalable.\n\n* **Fabian** spent three years at **Stripe**, where he was tech lead for systems that processed tens of billions of dollars each year.\n* **Iman** spent four years at startups like **Fever** and **Braive**, building software that balanced national energy grids and managed sensitive healthcare data under strict regulatory requirements.\n\nAs AI unlocks software building at an entirely new scale and speed, backends need to keep up in reliability, security and scalability. Specific is our way of making that possible.\n\n---\n\nSee it in action: https://youtu.be/62QGL3drU44\n\n# Backends are hard\n\nBackend-as-a-service platforms have made backend development much easier, but not easy enough for a new era where AI lets anyone build software in minutes.\n\nThey still require deep understanding of concepts like database schemas, migrations, security and APIs to use effectively. That limits how powerful and flexible non-technical users can be. Ambitions often exceed what the platforms make possible.\n\nThis gap becomes particularly clear for AI coding platforms. Their agents can generate impressive web and mobile apps, but still rely on users to sign up for and connect to an external backend provider. Integrating those providers can take weeks, and maintaining them is an ongoing effort to make sure the agent truly understands how to use them.\n\n# How Specific helps\n\nSpecific offers a backend-as-a-service that’s entirely generated and maintained by our own expert coding agent. We designed it to understand user needs from natural language prompts, and to build a tailor made backend automatically.\n\nYou can connect any coding agent to Specific in minutes through our MCP server. Once connected, you can now generate fully featured, secure, and scalable backends to match any frontend.\n\nBecause the backend is built and managed by our own agent, there’s no need to teach your agent how to use an external platform or maintain fragile integrations. Specific handles everything end-to-end, scaling seamlessly as projects grow.\n\n\n\nFor our initial launch, we are working with AI coding platforms like [Natively](https://natively.dev/) that create thousands of new projects _every day_. We are hearing from these platforms that they want to focus on what they do best, designing and building great apps, without worrying about backends.\n\nWith Specific, they can:\n\n* **Launch new isolated projects in seconds** through our API. Fully white-label, end users don’t need to configure anything.\n* **Scale automatically.** Projects scale up based on usage, and down to zero when idle.\n* **Integrate in minutes** by connecting through our MCP server. No need to spend weeks teaching their agents how to build and maintain backends.\n* **Enable common integrations instantly**. Authentication, payments and LLMs work out of the box with no API keys or setup required from users.\n\n# Come talk to us\n\nGet in touch at [hello@specific.dev](mailto:hello@specific.dev).\n\nWe are excited to talk to everybody who needs backends, whether you have years of experience building software, have just discovered vibe coding, or are building a coding platform for others.\n\nWe also have a waitlist that you can sign up for on our site: [specific.dev](https://specific.dev/). We will be inviting folks from the waitlist to a private beta of Specific soon. Sign up early to be one of the first to get access!",

Yet over half of businesses still don’t have a mobile app.\n\nWhy? Because building one is still seen as a luxury — expensive, complex, and slow.\n\nToday, users have three options:\n\n1. Hire a Mobile Development Agency\\\n Agencies handle everything: from design to app store launch.\\\n But at a steep cost: $60K–$120K for an MVP, taking 3–6 months before the first users see it.\n2. Build an In-House Team\\\n Hiring a developer costs about $130K/year, not including design, backend, and QA.\\\n Expect similar timelines: 3–6 months to launch.\n3. Use traditional No-Code Builders (Adalo, Bubble, etc.)\\\n These platforms promise simplicity - but fail to deliver real scalability, design quality, and functionality.\n\n### Introducing Fastshot\n\nFastshot is redefining how mobile apps are built.\n\nWith Fastshot, anyone, even non-technical teams, can design, build, and ship mobile apps just by chatting with AI.\n\n🙅No engineers.\\\n🙅No designers.\\\n🙅No project managers.\\\n🙅No 6-month timelines or 6-figure costs.\n\nEngineered by Google developers.\n\nYou can have your first MVP in customers’ hands the same day.\n\n### How It Works\n\nFastshot is an end-to-end mobile development platform that covers the entire lifecycle:\n\nIdeation → Design → Development → Deployment\n\nWe provide:\n\n* Beautiful out-of-the-box designs and templates\n* Built-in authentication, payments, and storage\n* Plug-in any AI providers to your app\n\nEverything your app needs: from concept to app store, powered by conversation.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/92yFPZuJPUY \n\n### Why Fastshot\n\nIsn’t \\_\\_ already doing this?\n\nYes – and no.\n\nFastshot isn’t just another no-code builder. We employ a multi-agent workflow that differentiates us from how simple vibe coding wrappers operate today, ensuring the best in class, high quality, modern design mobile apps.\n\nNo more brittle, half working mobile app scaffolds. Just working mobile apps in app stores. Our agents take care of everything that goes into mobile development processes end-to-end: from planning, to design, to implementation and shipment to stores.\n\nWe’re building the next generation of mobile app development platform, transforming how the industry will operate for the next decade.\\\nWith Fastshot, you can start building your app 10x more affordably and 10x faster than traditional methods.\n\n## We care about you\n\nWe win together. **Your success is our success.**\n\n**We want to make sure your app is lovable and goes viral.** Our goal is to build a long-term, meaningful partnership with every creator, founder, and business that chooses Fastshot. You grow - we grow with you.\n\nSo, if you’re ready to turn your idea into a real mobile app – **start using** [fastshot.ai](http://fastshot.ai?utm_source=yclaunch).\\\nShare your vision, and we’ll bring it to life.\n\n### About Us\n\nFastshot is built by experts with over a decade of experience creating AI developer tools and mobile apps, with backgrounds at companies like Google, Meraki, Cisco.\n\nDmitry: With 10+ years in AI and mobile development, spent years at Google building AI agents across Core ML and Google Cloud. Before that, as a Engineer, he kept seeing the same problem repeat: brilliant ideas slowed down by slow shipping. Fastshot is his solution to that — a way to turn ideas into apps instantly.\n\nElvira: With 10+ years in software engineering and product management, Elvira built and shipped GenAI developer tools at Google to millions of users. She’s also a developer advocate, speaker, and led the launch of the open-source Kubeflow 1.0 MLOps platform. Having witnessed firsthand how AI can unlock limitless potential, she’s now making that power accessible to everyone through Fastshot.\n\nTogether, they’re on a mission to empower anyone with an idea to bring it to life, instantly, with zero code.\n\n\n\n",

"body": "Hello! I'm [Sruthi Viswanathan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sruvis/), founder of [Deep Interactions](https://www.deepinteractions.ai).\n\n### TL;DR\n\n### **Deep Interactions is a collaborative AI builder for teams. We turn messy ideas, data, and tools into working AI products in a single afternoon — so companies stop burning months and millions on pilots that never ship.**\n\n**_Ask:_** Intros to CEOs, CTOs, COOs, CFOs, or Heads of AI with an initiative stuck in pilot purgatory — especially in healthcare, fintech, consumer, applied AI, and ops-heavy businesses. → [sruthi@deepinteractions.ai](mailto:sruthi@deepinteractions.ai)\n\nLaunch video: \n\n### The Problem\n\nProduct development hasn't changed in 20 years. Write a PRD, throw it at engineering, hope it matches what users actually need.\n\nNow teams have layered AI on top: vibe-coding through the night, stitching prompts, tools, and agents. Same problem, faster and more expensive:\n\n* Burned tokens\n* Burned out teams\n* Spaghetti code that still misses the customer\n\n**95% of businesses walk away from their AI pilots. Hundreds of billions in wasted AI spend, every year.**\n\nThe bottleneck isn't models or prompts anymore. It's shared understanding of the customer, the product, and the codebase. Until now, there was no way to keep humans, agents, and code in sync as a product is being built. With today's reasoning models and multi-agent orchestration, couple with situated context, there is.\n\n### Our Solution\n\nYou bring the problem. We ship the product the same afternoon — alongside your team, inside the tools they already use (Slack, Figma, GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, You name it).\n\nWe don’t leave you with a spaghetti mess of a code. We bring product intelligence and power the context layer that enables your team to build in sync.\n\nAlready live with **12 businesses and 50k+ real-world usage hits.** Saving companies months of work and millions in AI spend.\n\n\n\n\n### **How can you help?**\n\nIf you can warmly introduce us to any of the following, I'd be grateful:\n\n* **Operators** with a stuck AI initiative (Heads of AI, CPOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering)\n* **Healthcare & wellness** companies looking to ship patient- or clinician-facing AI\n* **Consumer** companies (dating, fitness, fertility, social) ready to put AI in the product, not just the pitch deck\n* **Applied AI startups** burning tokens on coding agents that don't ship\n* **Angels and operators** who've shipped AI products at scale\n\nPlease contact me at [sruthi@deepinteractions.ai](mailto:sruthi@deepinteractions.ai)\n\n### Team\n\nI'm a Human-Centred AI researcher and DPhil in Computer Science at Oxford, with cutting-edge experience across Big Tech, AI labs, startups, and academia — spanning software engineering, UX, ML, and AI research. Recognised by 100 Women in AI (2025).\n\nAround me: a founding AI designer reshaping how humans and agents collaborate, a founding engineer with decades in production systems, and GTM operators who's built customer success from zero. Advised by leading Human-Centred Computing professors, AI scientists, and brilliant Angels.\n\nI started Deep Interactions because I kept watching brilliant teams ship broken AI. The future of AI work isn't more prompts — it's better human-AI collaboration.\n\nBook a call → 🕷️ [www.deepinteractions.ai](http://www.deepinteractions.ai)\n\n\n\n",
